Respuesta :
If the nurse notices a decrease in the heart rate, she should stop the procedure and reoxygenate the client. Thus, option 3 is correct.
An endotracheal tube is a polyvinyl chloride tube that is inserted through the mouth and placed between the vocal cords via the trachea. It is mainly used to provide oxygen and other gases to the lungs of the patient in cases like pneumonia, emphysema, heart failure, breathing problem, or severe trauma and stress.
During the suction, if the nurse notices that the heart rate is decreasing, she should stop the suction and provide oxygen to the patient. Without oxygen, the patient will not be able to survive. Thus, oxygen should be provided first.
Notifying the health care provider might take time, and the level of oxygen might drop further in that time. Thus, the nurse should take the necessary actions herself.
